Our Mission

Sea Colors is a high quality operation dedicated to marine wildlife conservation. With spirit of mission and adventure, we perform expeditions for study, observation, protection and scientific research in the Azores, a mid-Atlantic wildlife legacy to be shared and protected. Whales, dolphins, turtles, whale sharks, mantas, fish and birds, a vast number of species, all in a set of blue shades, the unique azorean sea colors.

Sea Colors is an alternative for the active, curious and nature interested. We aim to make your encounter with the ocean inspiring and fulfilling by including a combination of different elements in our expeditions that are conducted in a responsible and caring manner, benefiting the species, the environment and the people involved.

It is our mission to study the marine environment and wildlife, and to increase public environmental awareness, in order to conserve ecosystems and species.

Wildlife Conservation

Performing research and being attentive to signals displayed by the animals is essential since observing and studying them allows us to get a better understanding of their behavior and threats, in consequence we can therefore take action to protect and conserve them. By participating in the expeditions you are not just taking part on our work but also founding the research work.

The ocean is inhabited by mysterious and beautiful creatures and in order to match this, the venture is highly informative. On the expeditions we make efforts to remove encountered marine litter and we also organize coastal and ocean clean ups and educational environment protection actions. We also hold additional lectures to inform more about the topics that compose our work and the species inhabiting our waters.

Who We Are

Sea Colors is a family enterprise led by Jasmine Zereba and Paulo de Melo, a couple with long sea experience of observing, studying and free diving with cetaceans. Jasmine is a Swedish MSc marine biologist and Paulo, the captain, was born in the Azores and since very young attached to the sea by sailing and surfing. They are both active nature conservationists involved in ocean protection programs. Working in the field has given them the insight that a lot of people are just like them: active, curious and seeking genuine experiences.

Paulo and Jasmine live together with their two children on board their sailing vessel in São Miguel Island, from where they also operate a 12 person sea rib for marine wildlife expeditions. They are very welcoming and believe thatsmall scale is the right approach to be in contact with wildlife and to give the best personal attention to their guests at the sea. Their philosophy encompasses an open and adaptive approach, optimizing the enjoyment of the journey for everyone involved.
